Just to clarify: there's nothing slutty about three partners in two years--it's not the number that's bothering me. It's the possibility that he would have slept with this girl under those circumstances--because not only was she stupid and using him, it would have been tactically stupid FOR HIM.
Basically, I was trying to say that I don't think Sheppard is a ho and have always found that characterization stupid, so why was this episode so careless about supporting those ideas?
And I guess I need to rewatch the scene where he told Elizabeth he turned down the girl--I thought he meant, "turned down her offer to stay/go with her wherever she was going/impregnate her with genetically advanced babies."
